MarketOrders Co-Founder quoted in CCN about Deflation with negative interest rates & Bitcoin

MarketOrders Co-Founder, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in CCN article “Deflation with Negative Interest Rates Is Bullish for Bitcoin”.
She said: “With negative interest rates, there is less of an incentive to save and an incentive to spend. Bitcoin, like the asset gold, stores value and are equal to current spending power. Therefore it makes sense to invest more into bitcoin when interest rates are low.”
She added: “Negative interest rates raise the attractiveness of age-old stores of value like gold and Bitcoin, [which] also behaves in similar ways to gold in that there is a finite and limited supply and has real exchangeable value.”

MEET THE MARKETORDERS TEAM – FILIP JANCZAK, Digital Manager

Have you ever wondered who is behind MarketOrders’ success?

At MarketOrders, we believe that the team is critical to a company’s success, which is why we’ve decided to highlight our fantastic talents in this series of blog articles. 

Today, you’ll find out more about Filip Janczak, Digital Manager and a key asset to MarketOrders crowdfunding success. 

International background

Filip lived 12 years in Zgierz, Poland, before he moved to London, where he studied Media and Culture at Middlesex university. His network of friends and colleagues helped him start an exciting career within the startups world and motivated him to start his own digital marketing business, Creatos Media, which has won multiple awards.

Passionate about martial arts, Filip also likes to grow companies and develop new ideas, which give him a playground where he can express his creativity and challenge himself. 

His MarketOrders journey

His extensive network also lead Filip to MarketOrders. He explained: “I had known Krystian Ozog, Chief Customer Care Officer of MarketOrders for a long time when he introduced me to the founding team. I immediately liked their vision and ambition, even though they were just starting the business at that time. I’ve been working with the team since.” 

Filip’s role involves digital channels, but not only. Here is how he describes his work: “My role as Digital Manager is to create content, manage the channels and grow the community. I also make sure that we communicate as clearly as possible about the technology we use, which can be intimidating for people outside of technology. Blockchain technology is innovative, untapped, and has great potential, but most people don’t understand it. I’m here to make sure they do.”

Having grown ideas into businesses and international brands, Filip has extensive experience in developing innovative digital campaigns and his skills were crucial to MarketOrders crowdfunding success. 

Co-Founders’ opinion

Sukhi Jutla, Co-Founder & COO: “Filip is thriving with MarketOrders primarily because he understands the fast dynamics involved in startups and is well experienced in this way of working. He consistently brings new ideas and innovative ways of bringing our digital campaigns to life that help the business grow and attract new customers and investors. Filip always brings a smile to his work and always finds solutions – and that’s what makes MarketOrders what it is today. Thank you Filip!”

Ram Krishnna, Co-Founder & CEO: “I have known Filip for many years. He is very a hard-working, dedicated, and reliable person who goes the extra mile to get a job done and doesn’t give up when things get tough. He loves learning new things and he thinks out of the box. He is passionate about what he does. I’m extremely happy that he is part of MarketOrders and he definitely is a great addition to the team !”

Filip’s favourite quote

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new”, Albert Einstein.
